[Bug 31066] installing a new kernel changes the root= option in menu.lst

Task: ubuntu grub
         Status: Unconfirmed => Rejected

Comment:
The behaviour that you're seeing is actually by design.

Grub doesn't have the concept of a menu.d file or anythign like that to make it easy to add/remove kernels from the file, so update-grub goes through and edits the file in place with defaults that are in there.

Look in the file for a line that looks like:

# kopt=root=/dev/hda6 ro

And change it to say hda5 instead.  Then when you rerun update-grub, all the kernels will be generated with that information.

Marking this bug as 'rejected'.

Tks,
Jeff Bailey
